Activism is integral to What We Do

Exuberant Animal endorses and supports these pro-habitat and pro-social organizations. We support Standing Rock.

A core Exuberant Animal theme is the "long body." This idea, common to many Native American and indigenous cultures, holds that the individual human body is profoundly connected to habitat and tribe. This insight leads us to a "big health" perspective that includes the welfare of the environment and the social relations that sustain us. With this understanding, Exuberant Animal endorses and supports these pro-habitat and pro-social organizations:

Conservation International For more than 25 years, Conservation International has been protecting nature for the benefit of everyone on Earth. But we’re not a run-of-the-mill environmental organization. We’re more like a human organization. We know that human beings are totally dependent on nature — and that when we work to save nature, we’re really working to save ourselves. CI is more than 1,000 people in 30+ countries helping to build a healthier, more prosperous and more productive planet, for you and for everyone.

Indigenous Environmental Network: Established in 1990, IEN was formed by grassroots Indigenous peoples to address environmental and economic justice issues. IEN’s activities include building the capacity of Indigenous communities and tribal governments to develop mechanisms to protect our sacred sites, land, water, air, natural resources, health of both our people and all living things, and to build economically sustainable communities.

Doctors Without Borders: Medical aid where it is needed most. Independent. Neutral. Impartial.We are Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

Survival International: We are Survival, the global movement for tribal peoples’ rights. We’re the only organization that champions tribal peoples around the world. We help them defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their own futures. Our work is preventing the annihilation of tribal peoples. We investigate atrocities and present evidence to the United Nations and other international forums. Medical, education, research and protest.

At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.

Idle No More calls on all people to join in a peaceful revolution, to honor Indigenous sovereignty, and to protect the land and water.

Beautiful Trouble is a book, web toolbox and international network of artist-activist trainers whose mission is to make grassroots movements more creative and more effective.
